Storing Up Treasures in Heaven: Arbor Christian Fellowship Celebrates Another Incredible Awana Year
Arbor Christian Fellowship concluded another incredible year of Awana with two memorable celebrations: the Spring Awana Store and Awards & Parents Night. Children spent Awana Dollars earned through memorizing hundreds of Bible verses, while some chose to invest their earnings in Kingdom work by supporting church-planting missionaries through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Families also gathered to celebrate the accomplishments of Cubbies, Sparks, T&Ters (Truth & Training) and Trek students through Scripture recitations, songs, awards and stories of God's work throughout the year. From more than 1,000 verses memorized by T&T clubbers to Trekkers serving younger students—and from Cubbies reciting John 3:16 to Sparks reciting Psalm 23—the evening highlighted lives being shaped by God's Word and the lasting impact of a ministry dedicated to helping children know, love and live out the truth of Scripture for themselves.
Kids Alive Takes Families on an Intergalactic Adventure Through God’s Word
During Kids Alive Presentation Weekend on May 16–17, children at Arbor Christian Fellowship brought Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures to life through energetic singing, drama, choreography, gymnastics and Scripture memory, reminding audiences that God’s Word can never truly be erased when it is hidden in our hearts. Set in a futuristic world where the Bible exists only in an “Intergalactic Bible Database,” the musical combined humor, movement and biblical truth while showcasing the confidence, joy and spiritual growth of children from kindergarten through sixth grade. Supported by family, friends and church members, the weekend celebrated not only an unforgettable performance, but also 38 years of Kids Alive helping children worship God through music, movement, memorization and joyful discipleship.
Spring in Full Bloom at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Spring at Arbor Christian Fellowship unfolded as a vibrant season of worship, fellowship and shared stories anchored in Scripture and the hope of Christ’s resurrection. From the reverent reflection of Good Friday and the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday, to women’s gatherings, missions reports and Mother’s Day encouragement, each moment reflects a church family “rooted and established” in Christ (Colossians 2:7). Across generations, the campus was filled with laughter, prayer and hospitality as families, children and elders gather to celebrate the gospel in both word and action. Through global mission updates from South Africa and the Philippines, and personal stories of faith and transformation, the church is continually reminded of God’s work near and far. Taken together, these weeks paint a picture of a body of believers joyfully centered on God’s Word, strengthened in prayer and united in gratitude for the cross and the empty tomb.
Kids Alive Presents “Star Quest” — A Scripture Memory Musical Adventure into Space at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Kids Alive ministry invites families to experience Star Quest: Search for the Stolen Scriptures, a Scripture memory musical performed May 16–17, 2026. Celebrating 38 years of ministry to children, Kids Alive brings together music, choreography, storytelling, and Bible-centered teaching in an intergalactic adventure aboard ship J-316, where young performers share God’s Word “to the universe.” Featuring heartfelt reflections from parents and kids alike, this production highlights a lasting legacy of faith, friendship, and spiritual growth as children learn, worship, and proclaim Scripture with joy.
Drive-In Delight at Arbor Christian Fellowship: A Night of Faith, Film and Cardboard Cars
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Awana Drive-In Movie Night was an unforgettable evening of creativity, faith and fellowship, where children arrived with their own, hand-crafted cardboard box cars—ranging from Lamborghinis and stealth bombers to Spider-Man rides and tiny school buses—each reflecting their imagination and unique personalities. With popcorn, juice and laughter filling the Fellowship Hall, the children enjoyed the animated film DAVID by Sunrise Animation Studios, while Pastor Jonathan reminded them that true courage comes from trusting in God, just as David did. From the joyful delight of Cubbies, Sparks, and T&T participants to the dedicated volunteers serving snacks and cheering the kids on, the night combined fun, creativity and spiritual lessons, planting seeds of faith, courage and trust in the hearts of every child.
A Joyful Start to a New Season: Awana Kickoff Night Welcomes Children and Families
On Wednesday, September 3rd, our church kicked off a new season of Awana with a joyful evening filled with family fellowship, worship, and enthusiastic participation from children of all ages. The night began with a shared dinner, followed by a meaningful opening ceremony featuring salutes to the flags, the Awana anthem, important announcements, and a time of prayer. Each club—Cubbies, Sparks, T&T, and the newly launched Trek for 7th and 8th graders—then began their journey of Scripture memory, biblical teaching, and high-energy activities designed to help children hide God’s Word in their hearts and grow in their faith.
